EGG-BEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 13, 1921.

Application filed October 20, 1920. Serial No. 418,238.

Jerk, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Egg-Beaters, of Which the relic-wing is a full, clear, and exact specifi ation.

This invention relates to egg heaters, and has or its object to provide a simple, ineX- pensive and efficient kitchen implement for beating Whipping eggs, cream and the like.

The present invention is of the piston type of suction heater, and one of the special objects is to provide a simple and cheap form of handle by means of which the device may be held in proper position during operation. Another object is to simplify and improve the suction casing in which the piston Works and provide for the removal of said piston from said casing to permit ready cleaning of evice. ()ther objects will appear as the the o description proceeds. The invention will be first hereinafter dec vith the accompanying crav-Jings, which constitute part or this speci- *tion, and then more specifically defined in claim at the of the description. n the accompanying draivin s, wherein similar reference characters used to desiguase corresponding parts throughout the l view Figure l is an elevation of an egg beater substantially in accordance with the invention. vertical section of the piston V the device, and rig. is a transverse section of said casin! tal'en on the line IIIIII of Fig. 2.

lhe casing i of the device, in which the on 2 works, tubular in form and preflt is open top as at c. rue central portion of ails oi? the casing is imperforate but are two circular series or openings "war each end oi said casingextending id Walls.

SL011 is attached to a rod 5 extending r p iror n the closed upper end 8 of the casing and also guided. in an upper looped portion of a handle strip 7 having its extremities secured to said top closure 3 as by having the ends of said strip passed through cream to be Whipped or be said closure, as at 8, and secured in any suitable manner to the under face thereof. The strlp 7 has a bowed portion or oliset 9 near its upper end to enable a firmer grip to be had upon said handle strip. The piston rod 5 has a knob or other suitable handle 10 on its upper end and is long enough to permit the piston to be displaced from the open bottom end oi the casing to facilitate cleaning of the parts.

In use, the casing containing the piston is inserted into a container for the eggs or ten, and While the casing is held by one hand the operator grasping the looped strip 7, preferably at the oli'set 9, the piston is reciprocated in said casing by the other hand grasping t e knob or handle 10 on the upper end of the piston rod. The reciprocating movement of the piston in the imperiforate middle portion the casing creates a suction and a blowing action alternately at one end and then at the other of the said casing thereby drawing into said casing through the openings etsome oi the material to be Whipped and forcing the same out again. In this Way the material is quickly beaten up or whipped into a very light and fluffy condition.

The lower edge the casing is preferably notched 11 to peri lit the material to be drawn into said casing from the bottom of the container or bowl (not shown) in Which it is beaten or Whipped, as Well as from points higher up in said container or bowl. These bottom notchesii are especially useful where a small quantity of material, for instance one egg istc be beaten or Whipped,

and said material does not reach up very for around the casin of the heater.

Having thus described my invention, What 1 claim new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is An agitating device of the class described,

comprising a cylinder an agitator operating in said cylinder and havin an operating rod projec ingupwardly therefrom a guide me nber for said rod having'parallel side arms engaging said cylinder at their lower ends and having a transverse upper connecting member perforated to guide said rod, the upper portion of one of said side arms being oil-set to pro ide hand grip, as described.

In testimony whereoi I have signed my name to this specification.

GEORGE D. MUNSING.
